Taiwanese Presbyterian Church, officials thankful for outpouring of support after deadly Laguna Woods church shooting
Members of the Irvine Taiwanese Presbyterian Church, along with Taiwanese community and local officials, gathered Saturday, May 21 in Laguna Woods to thank community members for their prayers and condolences six days after a gunman opened fire inside the church, killing one person and wounding five others.
The shooting was fueled by the gunman’s hatred of Taiwanese people, officials have said, especially in light of tensions between Taiwan and China. Speakers on Saturday condemned the violence and called for unity. “We are undergoing the healing process,” Rev. Albany Lee said at a drizzly, late-morning news conference at Geneva Presbyterian Church, where the Taiwanese church meets. “We have asked a trauma specialist to help our surviving victims and their family members to unload the grief and anger in their heart.”
Lee also announced that Taiwanese Presbyterian Church congregations in Southern California were partnering with TPC congregations in Taiwan to fundraise in support of the children of Dr. John Cheng, 52, who officials and witnesses said was killed while trying to thwart the gunman’s attack.GoFundMe account for Dr. Cheng’s familyOther speakers included U.S. Rep.
